Subject: Accessible World Presents Let's Read Historical Novels May 5th Newswire This is a reminder that the Let's Read Historical Novels discussion group is scheduled to talk about "Waterloo" by Bernard Cornwell on May 5th - see time below. This novel is both an accurate account of the famous battle between the allied forces under the Duke of Wellington and the Imperial armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, and just a plain great read. The novel is available through NLS, BookShare and audio cassette. If you haven't yet discovered Richard Sharpe, the book's hero, you are in for a treat and a new obsession!
